When my actual job consisted of being on the internet for hours each day and included a whole commute to catch up on my phone, it was inevitable that I'd see the latest world news, hear about the ridiculous new teen challenge, or catch wind of the hottest clothing launch (looking at you POPSUGAR for Kohl's).
But without being in the middle of office chatter and having time to scroll through my newsfeed, I can go days without knowing what everyone is talking about. News isn't exactly child-friendly programming, and last time I got deep into reading an article on my phone, my 2-year-old found markers and drew on my TV cabinet. So yeah, the occasional Instagram scroll is all that's connecting me to the outside world right now.
